Answer 1

I met this. Finally I found that I have installed app in the phone. I solved the problem when i have uninstalled the app and run with different port like:

Before Uninstall

1. The emulator is running press CMD + m (Mac) or CTRL + m (Windows). Select Dev Settings and then Debug server host & port for device. Enter the url with the new port(9988).
2. CMD + R or CTRL + R and the application should reload with the new bundle.
3. uninstalled app
4. Run app with this command such as: react-native start --port 9988

Answer 2

You might have the same app installed in the device. Try deleting the apps with same package name, clear the build folder and then re run again.

Answer 3

I had the same error message. I went to Android studio where I got this error:
Cannot lock execution history cache
After searching online i found i had to delete the .lock files in ./gradle. This failed because it was being used by "Open JDK". So I went to task manager and ended the task. After that I could run my app again.

Answer 4

This happens because the gradle task is running and you will need to terminate that process.

Stopping the gradle task using the below command worked for me.

./gradlew --stop

Answer 5

I have fixed that problem.

Following are the steps taken to fix the issue:

• Create a new project.
• Copy code from your old project to the new one.
• Try to build it again.

It worked for me.
